“Far from being a bad thing to seek advice, you must, on the contrary, do so when the matter is of any importance, or when we cannot come to a clear decision on our own.”

“As I meditated on the Gospel of the Sower, I realized that there was no good soil in me. Therefore I desired to sow, in the heart of Jesus, all the actions of my heart and soul in order that they may grow by sharing in His merits. Henceforth, I shall exist only through Him and in Him since He has willed to lower Himself to assume human nature.”
—ST. LOUISE DE MARILLAC (“FULL TEXT” [1991]. SPIRITUAL WRITINGS. PAPER 11. HTTP://VIA.LIBRARY.DEPAUL.EDU/LDM/11)
